The Vetlab Premiere 125 Microscope

Veterinary Laboratory Microscope

The Vetlab Premiere 125 Binocular Microscope has been specially selected for its solid robust build and its reliable performance. This is a classically designed, basic compound microscope that will stand the test of time in any laboratory. This sturdy laboratory microscope comes with a 3-Year Warranty, is available on Seven Day Sale or Return and represents terrific value for money at a cost of only £285.00!

Bright and Even Illumination – Powerful Halogen Light Source

This microscope’s light source is provided by a powerful 6V 20W halogen bulb which can easily be replaced. The intensity of the light can be controlled by a dimmer switch and also by a height adjustable Abbe condenser with an iris diaphragm. In addition, there is a swing-out filter support on the base of the condenser which can support a blue filter to provide white light viewing. The blue filter is supplied with the microscope.

Achromat Objectives

The Vetlab Premiere 125 is supplied with four Achromat objectives: 4X, 10X, 40X (Spring), 100X (Spring, Oil).

Versatile, Reliable And Easy To Use

The microscope has a double-layered mechanical stage with low control knobs offering comfort for extended use. The Vetlab Premiere 125 is also ideal as a second laboratory microscope, dedicated to messy tasks such as worm egg counts/flotation or skin scrapings where corrosive liquids are being used. However, this binocular microscope is more than capable of performing a wide range of other microscopy techniques, including high power oil immersion examinations of Gram-stained smears for bacteria or Rapi-Diff stained blood smears for differential WBC counts.

Microstat Heated Stage

Microscope Heated Stage – Fits most makes of Microscopes

The Microstat microscope warming stage ensures the accurate temperature controlled microscopy that is critical to meaningful sperm motility assessment and other live cell examinations.

Conveniently attaching to the mechanical stage of almost any veterinary microscope, Microstat digital monitoring and adjustable temperature control maintains semen and other living cell samples thermally independent of variable field or laboratory conditions.

Live Specimen and Semen Quality Microscopy

Simple and straightforward addition of a Microstat heated stage adapts almost any veterinary laboratory microscope for semen quality assessments and other live specimen applications. Sperm motility microscopy requires the maintenance of live sperm at 37 °C (98° F), the temperature normally experienced during fertilisation in vivo. Semen quality assessments in the field can be impaired by environmental temperatures too high or too low for meaningful sperm motility observations.

More Info

Warmed stage microscopy facilitates the management of live sample temperatures in the range of 20° C to 50° C. Accurate temperature control equips vets in the field to carry out sperm morphology and sperm motility assessments under conditions nearer to those of the veterinary laboratory.

Responsive and Stable Temperature Control

The Microstat thermostatically controlled heated stage provides temperature stability for a wide range of biological examinations of living cells, tissue or organisms. Selected temperatures between 20° C and 50°C can be reached quickly and held stable to within +/- 1° C in just 1 to 2 minutes after powering-up the 110V/220V heating control unit.

The solid metal construction not only provides the durability essential for field microscopy and on-site testing, but it also provides a built-in ‘heat sink’ enhancing temperature stability in adverse conditions or a changeable environment. Incremental adjustment allows temperature response studies monitored at 0.1° C accuracy with the twin LED actual and pre-set temperature displays.

Simple, Convenient and Cost Effective

Attaching the 150mm x 130mm Microstat to any transmitted light microscope is a simple and cost-effective option temporarily converting a laboratory or field-use instrument into a fully functional warm stage microscope. Removable securing strips fix the fully CE certified unit directly to the microscope’s own 2-D mechanical stage with no unnecessary disassembly.

The 14mm aperture machined into the heated stage permits transmitted light from the microscope’s substage condenser to pass through and illuminate the sample whether it is a plain slide, petri dish or specialist mount such as a McMaster counting slide, haemocytometer or other cell counting slide.

Perfect Partner for Premiere Plan Lens Microscopes

Vetlab’s range of Premiere Veterinary Microscopes provides the easy-to-use, robust and cost-effective foundation for Microstat heated stage microscopy out in the field or in the laboratory.

Premiere 125 and Premiere 250 Microstat-ready microscopes offer the blend of image quality and portability essential for on-site farm, stud or stable semen quality assessments. For intensive laboratory use and demanding research applications, the Premiere 1600 now equipped with Infinity Optics and Plan-lens Objectives, provides the ultimate in easy-on-the-eye flat-field seminology.
